Happy World Giraffe Day!
Today, on the longest day of the year, we are celebrating the longest-necked animal: the giraffe!
In celebrating World Giraffe Day, we are also celebrating the almost two-year anniversary of the International Center for the Care and Conservation of Giraffe. Established in 2022, The Giraffe Center is a concentrated effort by CMZoo to consolidate resources and expand educational programs in order to improve and enrich the lives of giraffe in human care worldwide. One of the ways they achieve this is through in-person and virtual workshops. These workshops include lecture-style presentations, group discussions, role-playing and actual practice focused on giraffe nutrition, natural behaviors, hoof anatomy and care, and positive reinforcement training. Since 2022, The Giraffe Center has helped organizations in 28 different countries and has had hundreds of requests for information and assistance with giraffe care.
